Recently, powerhouse James Blake treated us to some new music by way of "Modern Soul", and, though his upcoming LP, Radio Silence, hasn't been set for release just yet, a mysterious producer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, flybear, has offered up a stunning take of his track, "The Wilhelm Scream". Leading in with a guitar, handclaps, and his own voice built on captivating harmonies, flybear emulates Blake without sounding like a copycat at all. On his take, he makes sure not just to cover bases with his the voice, but he also brings in a Mura Masa-like percussion section and vocal sample loop as well. It all brings the track to soaring new heights, and, really, it's an incredibly fresh spin on the classic six-year-old track. According to flybear, it's the first time he's ever put his own vocals in a song, and, listening here, we hope he continues to utilized them again.
